Dear Amr,

It is good to see you and read your thoughts once again; welcome to this site, unlike “the other site” you are here among friends.

Your article is, as usual, an excellent one, you hit the nail right on the head, however, every thing you mentioned and more, is known to this stupid administration and had been told to them from the get go. The State department has so many analysts whose main job is to collect and analyze all points of view, and report to the decision makers.

It is very hard to believe that they have not heard that one before, but they are not super humans, they are people just like you and I, and the fact they could make a mistake and not learn form history, is just another proof of their human fallibility,
Politics and the influence of special interest groups, and lobbyists is another factor.

No one regardless of their position or responsibly in society likes to end up wrong, but there are many calculations of gain and loss, very similar to a game of chess are involved, and like the vast majority of individuals, who make the wrong decisions in their life, they did the same thing, made the wrong decision.

Let’s hope that the next administration will change course, given the fact that they will be running on an opposite platform to this stupid administration.

One more thing, it takes two to tangle, the people and governments of the Middle East are as much to blame as the Bush admin. And I, after a lot of thought and analysis, lay the blame on the people NOT the governments, something that I will hopefully be writing about.

Regards
Fawzy

The great is the comment and not the article. I really feel that I am among friends whom I appreciate and cherish .. I somtimes ask myself what Miss Rice is doing in this administration .. she looks more Democratic. Thanks very much for your comment and I expect the Republican party will loose any presidential election for years to come.
